Episode Six: Cold Cases and Clairvoyants

December 3, 2018True CrimeAccused, Angela, Angela Freeman, In The Dark, Missing Person, Mississippi, Murder, Mystery, Petal Mississippi, Serial, Telling Lives, True Crime, Up and Vanishedtellinglives

One of the interesting things that seems to happen anytime a person goes missing or is killed in a mysterious way and the case remains unsolved for any length of time is the interest from psychics or people who believe they can help solve the case with help from otherworldly means. Angela Freeman’s case has been no exception.

In Episode Six we will explore what psychics over the years have brought forth in the Freeman case, and we will discuss some cases where law enforcement has actually solved cases seemingly from evidence uncovered through psychic phenomena.

Listen closely because some of the new evidence we will introduce in a forthcoming episode will require us to retrace some of the psychic visions from more than two decades ago.

Just 20 months after Angela Freeman went missing, two friends from work disappeared after leaving McAlister’s Deli in Hattiesburg. The next afternoon their truck and broken butcher knife were found at the Mahned Bridge. Four days later, three bodies were found in shallow graves nearby, catapulting this rural community and the Mahned Bridge into national news and putting the mystery of Angela’s disappearance back on the front page.

Episode Four: Searching for Angela Freeman.

After Angela Freeman’s car was discovered at the Mahned Bridge in remote Perry County, Mississippi, days passed before law enforcement started any kind of investigation. Those first crucial hours were wasted by a rural sheriff’s department that was untrained in proper investigation as well as determined in their belief that Angela was just a wayward runaway. Once outside agencies got involved, it became clear that Angela was the victim of foul play, but the mistakes made in the first hours could not be undone.

Episode Three: What Changed in 1993 for Angela Freeman?

October 9, 2018True CrimeAccused, Angela, Angela Freeman, In The Dark, Mahned Bridge, Missing Person, Mississippi, Murder, Mystery, Petal Mississippi, Serial, Telling Lives, True Crime, Up and Vanishedtellinglives

Angela turned 17 in January and broke up with her longtime boyfriend, though she continued to carry a torch for her first love. She dropped out of school and started working at fast food restaurants in Hattiesburg, where she met and began dating a black man, which at the time in Mississippi, was still frowned upon by many, including her soon-to-be stepfather. She found out in May that she was pregnant. Angela also discovered who her biological father was—and one of her classmates was in fact her half-brother. Two weeks before Angela’s disappearance on September 10, her mother Debra married her stepfather. She was in the process of moving in with a co-worker the weekend she went missing. The co-worker found a note from Angela saying that she’d be back soon. Her car was discovered hours later at the Mahned Bridge in rural Perry County.

Who is Angela Freeman?

In this episode we will take you back to the beginning and tell you about the Freeman family that Angela was born into and what Angela was like growing up. In the last 25 years, news media coverage has never really focused on who this young woman was and what she was like or who she became associated with that may have contributed to her disappearance and who the people were left behind wondering or questioning.
